Computing the Future of Biomedicine

Lecture by Dr. Chris Johnson, Director, Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute

Recorded: June 17, 2010

Advanced techniques in biomedical computing, imaging, and visualization are already changing the face of biology and medicine in both research and clinical practice. These techniques have the potential to provide comprehensive models and views of the human body in unprecedented depth and detail. As a result, biomedical computing and visualization will help produce exciting new biomedical scientific discoveries and clinical treatments. Distinguished Professor Johnson discussed the state of the art in biomedical computing, medical imaging, and visualization research and presented examples of their vital roles in cardiology, neuroscience, genetics, and radiology.
